What a big week for tech news! On Monday, the first Kubernetes release of 2018 dropped like the world’s hottest mixtape; Kubernetes 1.10 is out! On Wednesday, we saw what I believe to be the next step in Docker’s death; Solomon Hykes is out! More on that below. We also witnessed yet another big-time company get hit by WannaCry; Boeing. Boeing is the latest victim of poor IT practices as it found itself fighting the fast-spreading virus. Kudos to Boeing for getting it mitigated quickly but, this should never have happened given how old WannaCry is. Then on Thursday, 150 million of us found ourselves as a victim of yet another breach when MyFitnessPal announced its systems had been compromised. The MyFitnessPal breach compromised only superficial login data and passwords. No health or government issued data was stolen. Not to be outdone, Drupal core had a “Highly critical” RCE vulnerability. To top things off there appears to be a “skip containers, go serverless” drum beat building (more on that below).
